I personally feel that the roads in Austria are quite special in some places. Firstly, the speed limits on the highways vary a lot (normal 130, 100, road construction 90, 70, 50, different limits in rainy and snowy weather, and the major interchanges have a speed limit of 90, especially when the cancelation of the speed limit sign is often not visible). Secondly, the speed limits on regular roads are 100, 90, 70, 50, 30, but most village entrances and exits do not have speed limit signs, only safety islands and pedestrian crossings in the middle of the road.

Hello everyone, I have a question. We picked up the car in Vienna and drove to Brno, Czech Republic. The GPS told us to take a highway, but in fact, that highway had not yet been opened. We didn't know that and kept driving on it. Then someone stopped us. We thought they were bad guys and didn't stop. But later they caught up with us and stopped us again, educating us not to drive too fast. They even took photos. Will we be fined for this ? Austria Q&A

It's really annoying to return the car in Salzburg. On the afternoon we arrived, we happened to meet an Austrian holiday, and everyone was off work early. Then we tried all kinds of ways to return the car by ourselves. The next day, we received an email saying that the left rear hub was damaged, so we rushed to the return point. They said the car had already been rented out. Yesterday, we received an email saying that we had to pay 320 euros in compensation. It's really not worth it! Fortunately, the insurance can be compensated, so be sure to buy insurance, otherwise you don't know what will happen ? Austria Q&A

Dear fellow car enthusiasts, I would like to ask for your advice. I have a 2-day trip to Switzerland and a 2-day trip to Austria. How should I purchase the highway tolls? Is it per day or per road? Should I buy them at the gas station convenience store before or after entry? What does the ticket look like? What if I need to enter and exit repeatedly? In addition, the rental car order does not have an additional driver. Is the insurance car, person, and trip-related? Do I need to buy insurance again when I pick up the car? Thank you in advance for the enlightenment of the senior ? Austria Q&A
